Chapter 761: Chapter 762: History is Written by the Victors (First Update!)

“Oh, is that so? I, Old Sun, am eager to see what other skills you have!”

Sun Wukong’s lips curved into a smirk as he calmly watched Ran Deng Buddha, behind whom four Great Dao pillars manifested once again.

“Damn it! You’re forcing my hand!”

Ran Deng Buddha’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot, adopting a crimson hue, as the remaining Twelve Heavens manifested around him once more.

The Sarcophagus Lamp flew out from above Ran Deng Buddha’s head, and ghostly nether flames started to surge, wrapping around the small worlds of the Twelve Heavens.

Sacrifice!

This was a sacrifice!

Ran Deng Buddha intended to sacrifice the entire small worlds of the Twelve Heavens to exchange for tremendous strength and to fight Sun Wukong to the death!

A ring of energy protective shield appeared a zhang away from Ran Deng Buddha, encasing him within. It was a protective shield formed by the power of the Great Dao Laws, ensuring that his sacrifice wouldn’t be interrupted by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong quietly watched Ran Deng Buddha’s performance, his eyes brimming with cold derision; he had no intention of disrupting Ran Deng Buddha’s sacrifice.

The Twenty-Four Heavens, transformed from the Ocean-Calming Pearls, had been managed by the Buddhist Sect for many years. The small worlds within still had followers of Buddhism, and although Sun Wukong had previously recaptured the Twelve Heavens and remade them into twelve Ocean-Calming Pearls, the small worlds hadn’t disappeared or been refined, still providing the power of faith to the Buddhist Sect.

Ran Deng Buddha, now sacrificing the remaining Twelve Heavens, was converting their vast life energies into destructive power to confront Sun Wukong. Such actions were a hundred times crueler than the most ferocious demons; if the devout followers within those Twelve Ocean-Calming Pearls knew, they would certainly lose all faith in the Buddhist Sect.

Then, Sun Wukong could seize the opportunity to convert them into followers of his Demon Cult, which would be much more efficient than persuading them himself!

Screams and pleas faintly arose from the Twenty-Four Heavens. To Ran Deng Buddha, this was merely a way to gain power, but for the beings living in those Twelve Heavens, it was an apocalypse.

The worlds collapsed and were destroyed in an instant; companions and relatives died tragically beside them, their world disintegrating. The Buddha they once believed in did not reach out to them in this critical moment, and unbeknownst to them, it was the Buddha they worshipped who was pushing them toward extinction!

“Ran Deng, you use the lives of so many followers for your sacrifice, are you not afraid of the karmic retribution preached by your Buddhist Sect?”

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared, showing the devastation and misery of all beings in the Twelve Heavens being sacrificed. Sun Wukong pointed at the tragic scene in the mirror and confronted Ran Deng Buddha.

“Buddha said, if not I go to hell, who will go to hell! If it can eliminate this Demon Monkey, any sacrifice is worth it!”

There was no trace of pity or reluctance on Ran Deng Buddha’s face, only endless ferocity, “It’s a great honor for those ants to sacrifice their lives to aid me in slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits; they should feel the utmost glory!”

“What supreme glory! How utterly shameless!”

Sun Wukong looked at Ran Deng Buddha, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt, “To say such thick-skinned and shameless words so openly, Ran Deng, you are truly worse than a beast! Is this the so-called equality of all beings, the compassion of Buddha preached by your sect? Pah! It’s all deceptive lies! Old Sun truly feels sorry for those followers!”

“Equality? Sun Wukong, do you really think those ant-like mortals could be equal to us? It’s nothing but a lie to fool the world!”

Ran Deng Buddha, feeling the powerful energy surging from the Twelve Heavens, the sinister smile on his face grew wider, “Sun Wukong, today is the day you die! Once you, this Demon Monkey, are exterminated, the sin of destroying the Twelve Heavens will naturally fall upon you, while I shall be the righteous Buddha who exorcises evil spirits! History is written by the victors!”

“What a statement that history is written by the victors!”

Sun Wukong laughed, “I, Old Sun, agree with that statement! However, the victor might not necessarily be you! Your deeds are not unknown to others!”

The conversation just now between Ran Deng Ancient Buddha and the scenes that appeared in the water mirror, Sun Wukong had already manifested within the heavens above the small world of the Twelve Ocean-Calming Pearls in his control, allowing the Buddhist Sect devotees within that small world to see it all clearly.

While hearing is false, seeing might not be real either, but when both hearing and seeing occur together, the hypocrisy and vile faces of the Buddhist Sect will undoubtedly be clear to those devotees!

“Not unknown to anyone? Could it be…”

Ran Deng Ancient Buddha was startled, then a thought crossed his mind, and his expression turned dark, “You’ve transmitted our conversation into the small world of the Twelve Ocean-Calming Pearls! How despicable!”

“Despicable? I, Old Sun, dare not accept such a title! I am merely letting the world witness the true face of you, Ran Deng Ancient Buddha. When it comes to being despicable, I, Old Sun, am not even close to catching up with you!”

Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod was entwined with roaring Chaos Fire, his lips curled into a sneer, and the next moment, he viciously struck Ran Deng Ancient Buddha’s Great Dao Barrier.

With a thunderous boom, the Great Dao Barrier set by Ran Deng Buddha showed a web of cracks, then completely collapsed.

“What? How is that possible? It broke with one strike!”

Ran Deng Ancient Buddha was horrified, for it was a barrier formed by all the Great Dao Power of his entire being, yet Sun Wukong broke it with a single strike!

“Sun Wukong, if you seek death yourself, then don’t blame me!”

The sacrifice of the creatures within the Twelve Heavens was not yet complete, the power had not reached its maximum, only about eighty percent, but Ran Deng Ancient Buddha could wait no longer.

Sun Wukong had already made his move, and any further delay might mean no chance of action at all!

Even eighty percent of power was enough, for this was the power after all the creatures in the Twelve Heavens had made their sacrifices. Even though it was only eighty percent, it was still sufficient to destroy heavens and obliterate earth!

“Die!”

An immensely huge figure of Buddha manifested behind Ran Deng Ancient Buddha. The next moment, a grand Buddha Palm descended fiercely toward Sun Wukong, closely resembling the Tathagata Palm of the Tathagata Buddha, yet its power seemed even greater!

“Nine Steps to Trample the Heavens!”

Sun Wukong’s expression became grave as he knew he had to face this move with all his strength and no longer hold back!

Behind him, three Great Dao Illusions appeared: Fate Great Dao, Destruction Great Dao, and Wind Thunder Great Dao. Sun Wukong’s aura suddenly surged to a new level as he stepped through the void to meet the huge Buddha Palm.

The seventh step!

The eighth step!

“Let’s settle this!”

“Heaven-Breaking, Three Sticks!”

On the eighth step, all the veins in Sun Wukong’s body bulged, his teeth clenched, and he unleashed the strongest ultimate move he could currently muster.

Heaven-Breaking Three Sticks!
